I've installed 2.0.11 some days ago on my DX4 and since that I've severe
filesystem troubles. I get syslog messages like:
EXT2-fs warning (device 03:01): ext2_free_inode: bit already cleared for inode 128
The filesystem was damaged severely, fsck(1) couldn't repair it
automatically.
On my 2.0.10 (DX2) machine I've similar problems, I get syslog
messages like
EXT2-fs error (device 02:00): ext2_readdir: directory #2 contains a hole at offset 0
My DX4 machine has a DTC IDE cache controller installed which seems to
be a bit incompatible (for example, CD-ROMS don't work with it). But I've
never had troubles, it works fine.
My DX2 machine is a HP Vectra with onboard IDE.
...if you need more info, tell me, I'm trying to repair my filesystem
now :(
That's some syslog output from my DX4:
